Awesome Action
If you are looking for some of the most fun fishing all year
round, well it is here. Even
though the fish are out after the spawn it can be absolutely
awesome. The Topwater
bite is on and hot. Come
the middle of June or when the shad start to pop up around the
lake, the bass will be eating off the surface. This is when you go to the topwater baits to catch
them. I have a
few pointers to help you out as you chose tackle and baits to If
you are going to chose any rod to throw topwater baits with,
it should be medium action. You don’t want a heavy rod due to not having action
to move the bait at best. I prefer to use a 6’ to 6’6” rod in medium
actions. This
gives you the little extra snap in the rod to move the bait at
best and to not pull the treble hooks out of the bass’
mouth. There is
fishing reel preferred when throwing these. Try and get a reel with a high gear ratio, preferably
6.2:1 or higher. I
like to throw my baits with a G. Loomis rods and a Shimano
Curado or Chronarch reels. These have good drag systems and they won’t give out
on you. Now
the baits. Well
in my book there are 2 key baits that will catch you the most
fish. These are
the walking baits and popping baits. These baits serve their purposes at their own special
times. For
the walking baits there is really only one real choice in my
opinion, the Lucky Craft Sammy 100. This is the best overall bait there is. They are made in Japan so the quality is 100% awesome. These baits have the best finishes and action of all
the walking baits made. These
baits come in a variety of colors so you should match it to
what is in your lake at the time and what the fish are eating. As
for the popping baits I recommend the Buddha Baits popper. These baits have the best spitting and chugging of all
the baits I have fished. These too come in a variety of colors so match what they are
eating and what is in the lake. If you are looking for the right areas to fish look for the shad schools or just a good weedy area. The best are flats that have a shallow break in the bottom and the weed line is very noticeable. These are the best areas. Fish swim up and down the weed lines looking for prey to feed on and these little offerings on the surface are so I
hope these little hints will help you out as you go out and
try to catch your surface fish. This is the most fun way to land Bass. To see the bass come up and smash the surface plug is
amazing. If you
need to purchase the Sammy 100’s then take a look here at
Bigfishtackle.com and they have what you need. He best prices around. Good luck and pick up these baits and have the most fun
bass fishing you will have all year round.
